Sharp wave ripples (SPW‐Rs) represent the most synchronous population pattern in the
mammalian brain. Their excitatory output affects a wide area of the cortex and several …

Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

During systems-level consolidation, mnemonic representations initially reliant on the
hippocampus are thought to migrate to neocortical sites for more permanent storage, with an …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

How are brief encounters transformed into lasting memories? Previous research has
established the role of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, along with its …

Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired
information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of …

Rats and mice have been demonstrated to show episodic-like memory, a prototype of
episodic memory, as defined by an integrated memory of the experience of an object or …

Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

Clear associations of sleep, cognitive performance, and behavioral problems have been
demonstrated in meta-analyses of studies in adults. This meta-analysis is the first to …

Sleep disorders are frequent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), with a significant impact on
patients and caregivers and a major risk factor for early institutionalization. Micro …
